CENCI, Angelo Vitório. Reconhecimento, conflito e formação na teoria crítica de Axel Honneth. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.53, pp.323-342. ISSN 1982-596X.

In his critical theory, Honneth explores a kind of conflict driven by experiences of disrespect that affect personal or collective identity. When addressing the young Hegel, he places the conflict at the core of his critical social theory, conceiving it as a disorder or lesion in social relations of recognition. Besides ascribing the conflict its role as power engine of social interaction, he assigns it with the role of formation element of human identity as long as it allows the subject to positively develop some practical self-relation through different spheres of recognition. This paper takes as its starting point the central theses of Honneth’s theory of recognition and the presentation of the different dimensions of the conflict inherent to it so as to show how it is possible to find, in such theory, an important bond between conflict and formation, above all, through the concepts of socialization and self-realization.
